  From being a resident physician during the COVID-19 pandemic to living passionately in travel, romance, and heartache, Rodolfo Villarreal-Calderon is a literary chef to an audience who did not realize their hunger—until served his Word Meal. It is a two-part course: first, 99 poems, and second, an 82-page short story (novella). 
  The poetry is organized around the three abstractions that connect us all—Love, Time, and Death. Love of lovers, of dogs, and of self; the Death of body, our past, and who we once were; the Time within which this all transpires—the Time of your life. You are invited to explore each abstraction and their combinations. Buffet style. 
  In the drama that is a healthcare encounter, the patient is—and always will be—the protagonist. Get Well Soon! is a novella revolving around a patient admitted to the hospital. The patient narrator reflects on the experiences of being well and ill, as well as the subtle and comical workings of an academic hospital team and hospital stay.

  Poems for Newlyweds - Love poems...

  Christopher Marlowe

  The meeting, the courtship, the wedding and the honeymoon have all now been completed. 
   
  Having got this far the real journey lays before every married couple seeking the love, stability, support and joys of a long-term relationship.  The state of the newly-weds is now at hand.  The meeting of minds and the living together can become a source of friction or ignition to a deeper understanding.  Physically the very first blush of lust and desire is replaced by an understanding that life and our own biological and emotional clocks, for some, may now require that children be brought into the mix and families raised. 
   
  Yes, that interlude when the bliss of being a newly-wed – announced and seen as such to a wider society – really doesn’t last that long.  Time to savour the days and nights of love’s sweet wonder. 
   
  Our classic poets, of course, have much to say and advise on.  With the storied likes of Christopher Marlowe, Khalil Gibran, Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and even George Orwell then the listener is in wise and knowing hands.
